SAN ANTONIO — A female training instructor at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland has pleaded guilty to having sex with a male student in 2011.

A military judge in San Antonio on Thursday considers punishment for Staff Sgt. Emily Allen.

Allen on Wednesday also pleaded guilty to three other specifications — attempted sexual relationship with another trainee plus having improper social relationships with two other trainees. She faces up to a year in custody, plus a reduction in rank or a bad conduct discharge.

She’s the first woman among more than 30 instructors at San Antonio-Lackland charged in the current scandal. Allen is the 18th instructor from Lackland to be convicted or plead guilty as the trials continue.
